UNFORESEEN FATE

Emma's p.o.v "Quit slacking off already, or else we will get in trouble" Molly whispered while moping the floor, I rolled my eyes and glanced behind for the eleventh time. "Stop it," she said a little louder. I wanted to but I couldn't stop myself, I wanted to look at him when he walked in. "For once act like you are truly grateful to get a job at such an amazing company," Molly said seriously. "I'm sorry," I whispered while my hands tightened on the mop. I was more than grateful to be in such a company that everyone dreamed of working in, not only was it on top of the business chain, it was very well respected and trusted, and the only one that made all that possible was my savior Adam brown.                  ~ Flash back ~ Ever since I could remember, I had always been on my own, I grew up in an orphanage that was always lively and friendly, sadly I was the freak that everyone mocked, just because I told the truth of how I heard a voice talking to me, no one wanted to adopt me or look me in the eye, years went on and my friends found new places they called home while I stayed behind, my only source of comfort were my tears and the voice in my head which I later named Jade because it was female. It understood my pain and comforted me when I felt like dying, Jade became a great part of me. When I turned eighteen I began manipulating fire with my hands, everyone became afraid of me, and in no time a few of the people I counted as family turned on me, they chased me out of the orphanage with only one thing in mind, to hunt me down like I was a monster. I ran for my life for days, only stopping to drink water or to release my self. I was scared in the night and my feet were sore, my clothes were slightly ripped from all the brushes I had passed through. Jade encouraged me to get back on my feet every time I fell down and refused to stand. She rumbled in anger, claiming she was more than what I thought she was, in no time I was back on my feet and forcing myself to walk further. When I reached the city I felt relieved, where I came from was a small town that was ever busy, the nun usually warned us on how life was in the big city, she said the city would suck the living light out of us orphans, so we all feared it, but now looking at the big buildings and streetlights, I felt happy and my heart became lighter, a lot of people were moving back and forth that meant I was safe from those that wanted to harm me for the time being. And then I saw it, the most beautiful tallest building ahead, it was covered in glass that sparkled like diamonds, I slowly Walked towards it while bumping into a few people that looked at me with disgust. I sincerely apologized to them but on the other hand, I didn't want to, Jade was filling my mind with images of us burning them down to the ground, it was scary but I trusted her despite that. I reached the entrance and noticed a few men with cameras standing a bit far, I ignored them and took a few steps closer to the glass door, I lifted my hand to touch it but stopped when it opened, a tall Scary looking man came out of the place and glared at me. "This is no place for you begger," he said angrily as I took a step backward in fear and bumped into a hard chest, a warm sensation spread throughout my body when a hand cold hand was pressed on my shoulder. "Alfred, you shouldn't be rude to a lady" a deep husky voice that made my hurt beat rapidly said behind. "I'm sorry Mr Brown," the scary man answered respectively. "Miss, are you perhaps looking for a job?" The voice asked again. I slowly turned then took in a sharp breath. The man that stood in front of me was tall, taller than me and the scary man, his hair was an unusual black with grey strip's on top, his eyes were a mesmerizing grey, his jaw was strong and his lips a darker shade of pink. He smiled showing off his beautiful white teeth, I couldn't help but smile back. "Are you looking for a job?" He asked again softly. I wanted to tell him I wasn't, but my head nodded on its own. "Great, you have come at a right time, Alfred, yesterday I overheard Sophie complaining about being understaffed, why don't you take this beautiful young lady to her and let her give her something to do," he said then smirked and walked past me. My eyes followed his every move, even when he went into the elevator. "Miss come with me," the man, who was Alfred said with a glare. I looked at him then I quickly followed him inside. "I still don't understand why Mr Brown would want someone as ugly as you to work for him," Alfred murmured loudly. I looked at myself then sighed sadly, I wasn't like any of the beautiful girls I saw at the orphanage, I was the complete opposite of them, I weighed 180 lbs and I stood at 5'9, my hair was black and long and my eyes were a normal dark brown, nothing about me was great, and it wasn't the first time someone called me ugly, ugly was one of my name's. "Stop It," Jade warned loudly in my head. "Sir," Alfred called. I quickly looked up and was met by cold grey eyes, something felt off, the man who was kind to me looked angry and cold. "Figure out where to take that trash, Sophia won't have anything to do with it," he said with a threatening tone that made me flinch in fear. "Sir, you said I should... "Didn't you see the reporters outside, any slight mistake you could have made, would have been news to them" he said. "I'm sorry," Alfred apologized. The man glanced at me with disgust then walked away, I couldn't understand why his words hurt me a lot, my heart was aching badly. "What should I do," Alfred asked then turned and looked at me, he shook his head then held my hand in his. "There is no need to cry is there?" He asked Softly. I lifted my free hand and touched my wet face in shock, I had no idea I was crying. "Come now," he said. I walked with him into a room where I found a tall, slim, redhead cleaning the floors, immediately she saw me she smiled. "The boss has instructed me to bring her here to you, as of today she will work with you, she will be under your care so be good to her, also, you will share the same house," he said as the lady gasped. "It's not my orders but Mr browns, if you have a complaint go and complain to him, just make sure if you do you don't piss him off, because you won't only lose your job but also the company's house that you live in," he said seriously as the lady glared at him then smiled at me. "Hi, I'm Molly, I'm twenty-six years old and I have been a cleaner at this company for five years," she said then extended her hand. I took it and shook it. "Hi, I'm Emma, I'm 18 years old and I'm an orphan" I answered with a smile. "Well then, I'll leave you, ladies, to work," Alfred said. I quickly held his hand. "I hope one day I would be of help to you, thank you" I whispered. He nodded then pulled his hand from mine and walked out.             ~ End of flashback ~ "Emma again," Molly yelled. "Sorry, I was Just Wondering if Mr Brown will be running late," I said as Molly stood upright. "Are you freaking kidding me, have you forgotten that time he yelled at us for accidentally brushing a mop over his shoe?" She asked. "That was our mistake," I answered. "What of that time he pushed you down roughly and called you disgusting just because you bumped into him?" She asked. "I was at fault,' I answered. "When will you ever realize that the man is a jerk?" She asked. "Never," I answered under my breath. "Are you like those weird women who enjoy being treated like trash?" She asked. "No," I answered loudly. "Then why can't you just give up, you have been working here for a year and the man doesn't even look at you when he does, he always has this cold disgusted look on his face," she said. "No he doesn't," I answered then continued to mop. Deep down I knew she was right, to him all I was, was a disgusting woman who was hired by him as a cleaner by mistake.
